Winter!

Monday, we celebrated the Chinese New Year. We learned that it is customary to clean the house for the new year to get rid of the bad luck from last year. Red is the color used to decorate because it is believed to be lucky. We made colorful dragon puppets too!

On Tuesday we made ourselves wearing snow suits like the one in The Snowy Day book. These are in your child’s red folder.

We all enjoyed our day off on Wednesday!

Thursday we made “stained glass” mittens, which are decorating our classroom windows. You can see pictures on the blog.

Friday we painted snowmen from laundry detergent and added all sorts of embellishments. It was a great winter week!!!

We made edible snowmen for snack on Friday!

These snacks were almost too cute to eat!

Our Spotlight Student in the afternoon class brought colorful cupcakes as a special treat. We couldn't resist posting pictures of these adorable frosted faces!!!!

UPCOMING EVENTS

On Thursday, February 2nd, we will wear our clean pajamas to school! No stuffed animals or blankets this time please...it’s just a PJ day not a teddy bear day.

We will be having our Friendship Party during class on Tuesday, February 14th.  Please have your child write ONLY his/her name on each valentine. This will make the passing out process much less complicated!  Start sending as soon as your child is finished writing their name. We have 20 friends in each  class. You are welcome to send special treats/snacks that day. We recommend take-home goody bags or non-sugary snacks as we usually receive plenty of cupcakes, cookies, etc. Don’t forget to make your own Mailbox! See newsletter for more info.

Conferences will be held in March. Please return the blue sign-up sheet that is in your child's red folder ASAP! Thanks!!!
